Creation of fine woodturnings is a time intensive process, beginning with the acquisition of wood, either puchased or found, followed by a variety of seasoning and turning techniques which vary with the woodturning artist and the wood itself.  All woodturned vessels, turned  bowls and  wooden boxes shown here are designed and handcrafted by Maurice Sewelson.

This woodturned lidded vessel with finial is created from Australian Eucalyptus Burl and Bloodwood. Some areas are inlaid with crushed Chrysacolla, a stone of peace and harmony. Please visit my shop  www.sewelsonwoodcraft.etsy.com

Handmade boxes make great wedding, anniversary and birthday gifts. This box was handcrafted from Genuine Mahogany, accented with Picture Jasper cabochon. For more handcrafted boxes please visit  www.sewelsonwoodcraft.etsy.com
